In this new collection of his poetry written since 2004, Greene does indeed explore those matters closest to his heart, both the personal and, increasingly, the social and political. Ranging over subjects light and profound, at times amused and at others outraged, he is everywhere intensely alive to the experience of life itself, and all the reasons, as he says at one point, to love this world. In verse that is spare but never sparse, he opens our hearts along with his own.

Jonathan Greene is the author of over twenty-five collections of poetry published over the past forty years. Born in New York City in 1943, he was a resident of San Francisco in the 1960s before moving to Kentucky in 1966. Since 1965 he has published over sixty titles under his Gnomon Press imprint, and continues his award-winning work as a free-lance book designer (including this title). He lives on a farm on the Kentucky River outside of Frankfort with his wife, the photographer and weaver, Dobree Adams.
There is a lyric delight in the world that informs all of Greene's poetry, from man's pratfalls to the occasions of moment. There is a human face staring at us from these pages - yours, mine - one that has Greene chuckling or rapt, our heads nodding alongside or shaking with the sweet peccadilloes our nature permits. He turns our world and our natures, turns us - and himself - just enough 'til his poems, marvelous creations, generous gifts, come round right. - J. W. Bonner --The Asheville Poetry Review
